Why Tapsee is not an A-listed Actor?

Taapsee Pannu, who has made her mark with films like Pink, Naam Shabana and Judwaa 2, says she is yet to crack the code of being an A-list in the Hindi film industry. The year 2017 has not been great for Bollywood, but Taapsee's Naam Shabana can be counted as one of the highest grossing female-centric films, and Judwaa 2 has also raked in the moolah.

Yet, Taapsee wonders why she isn't counted among the "top. "I am yet to find out the definition of being an A-listed actress. What does that mean? See, as an actress, I am happy that people are offering me good roles and I am earning success critically and commercially. But it bothers me when a designer says, No, Taapsee can't be my muse or the show stopper, I want an A-lister actress for this collection. It happened with the brand endorsements as well. So, I am saying that I am ready to give the entrance exam of entering the club of A-listed actresses,😆 but can someone please tell me the formula... Maybe awards? I do not know.

She is just a year old in the industry, isn't she? Pink is her real debut, the other Hindi film(s) she did before that hardly did anything for her; she was a complete non-entity.

She has to sustain her success for a few more years before she can be called that. It's likely that she will become another Ileana with moderate success.. but I don't know if these two can be called A-listers.

But all said and done, Taapsee and Ileana made the right moves. Just before their end was nearing in the South, they made a transition to Bollywood and started afresh here and found new ground here. Kinda like what PC is trying to pull with her transition to HW. Admirable.

Nice comparison..I agree she will need to sustain her peak.. ryt now she is in To-be-in-A-list-soon.

taapse will soon enter that league..provided she makes some more right choices ahead
i actually don't think illeana and taapse are on same grounds..taapse is what one can call a rising star where as illeana's career is pretty much on the rocks after back to back flops

illeana and asin may make an interesting comparison..both crash landed after a great debut

taapse can be the next big star..if she doesn't make the mistakes asin and illeana made..

I fear Tapsee will join Asin and Illeana... she need some controversies too like all A-listers. 😆
